Chapter 11 - Rou Jia
The carriage passed slowly on the blue brick floor, the clatter of horses’ hooves was not noticeable in the noisy hot city, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight slipped in through the gold-blue drapery, and the dark and quiet carriage was only in the dark and quiet. Contaminated with the warmth of the outside world.
Shen Yuzhi was sitting upright, even though there was a thick cotton pad underneath, he still felt a little restless, hesitantly looked sideways at Bai Chu who was sitting beside him.
She closed her eyes gently, leaned on the pillow behind her, her body swayed slightly with the carriage, her skin was as white as jade, looking from the side, the arc from the forehead to the jaw was extremely beautiful, and the slender eyelashes were like spring sun The butterfly wings falling on the stamens of Fangfei are quiet and peaceful.
After coming out of the White House, she was so silent, she didn’t even look at him. Shen Yuzhi was thinking of asking her on the way back, but she closed her eyes and fell asleep after boarding the carriage, and he could only hold back his words.
The atmosphere was so inexplicably silent. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yuzhi looked at Bai Chu, who frowned in disgust because of the sudden violent shaking of the carriage, and asked in a low voice, “Chu Hua, are you angry?”
After Bai Zizhen sent Bai Yinhua back, he returned and questioned Shen Yuzhi in an euphemistic but unceremonious tone.
Because Bai Chu suggested this at the beginning, and after a few days, he made it clear that she had no relationship with him, so Shen Yuzhi did not realize that she would be angry or unhappy at first.
In fact, Bai Chu was not angry, but after the purpose of coming to Bai’s house was achieved, she was a little lazy to deal with Shen Yuzhi.
In the plot of the original book, Bai Yinhua’s psychological defense is the weakest because of his lover, so the male protagonist takes advantage of the situation and writes love letters every day. , which opened the relationship between the two.
Bai Yinhua was undoubtedly a very proud person. The Shen family contacted her unilaterally for a marriage contract, and even later they looked at her concubine who was not as good as her. What a humiliation. Even if the male protagonist is still an incompetent dude in the eyes of the world at this time, he is at least a royal family member.
At first, Bai Chu instigated Shen Yuzhi to make it clear to Bai Yinhua, because he was worried that the son and daughter would have a problem in his heart, and he probably would not be willing to take care of Shen Yuzhi who despised and abandoned her, so he wanted the two to get in touch again. The only way is to let Shen Yuzhi take the initiative.
I didn’t expect…
Thinking of this, Bai Chu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yuzhi thoughtfully. He was indeed good-looking, and he was known for his talent.
Don’t look at the male protagonist carrying the name of King An on his back, at this time, in the eyes of the world, he can’t compare to Shen Yuzhi.
Maybe the heroine really likes him, maybe?
Otherwise, knowing that the original owner is not as good as her in every way, he would still be so worried that he would have to come to Hanliyuan for a visit.
But if so, why did you watch Bai Chuhua marry Shen Yuzhi in the first place?
She was still thinking about things to herself, but Shen Yuzhi was suffocating her breath, her bright eyes suddenly revealed, the brilliance that appeared in an instant, and the clear waves were so clear that people suddenly dared not look directly.
“Why do you say that?” Bai Chu whispered, his voice slightly hoarse.
Shen Yuzhi recovered from his daze, hurriedly avoided his sight, picked up the tea bowl on the small table next to him, and drank the sweet and warm tea in one go: “When you leave, the eldest brother of the Bai family is with you. I said a lot.”
“He’s right. Since we’re married, I should treat you well, otherwise… it’s not good for you and Yinhua.”
What he said was very sincere, Bai Chu frowned, and he eased in an instant. That’s all, since the heroine is not reconciled, her old relationship with Shen Yuzhi still has to grind, and it’s not that he can stop when he says stop. of.
A faint smile appeared on Bai Chu’s lips, and he replied casually, “Yes.”
However, Shen Yuzhi thought she believed his intentions, and followed with a relaxed smile, like the clear breeze and the bright moon, like the warmest setting sun in winter, illuminating the entire dark space.
Bai Chu’s eyes flickered, Shen Yuzhi and Shen Yongzhi were born in a five-point similarity, and the remaining five points were all due to the difference in temperament, one was cold outside and hot inside, and the other was hot outside and cold inside.
She couldn’t help but look forward to their elder brother, Shen Jingzhi as the eldest brother.
After returning to the Shen residence, the two first went to Hexiangyuan to greet the old lady.
Who knows that there are other guests inside.
“Third cousin!” With a soft voice, Bai Chu followed Shen Yu before entering the door, when she saw a goose-yellow figure running gracefully inside. She raised her eyebrows and stepped back calmly. retreat.
Sure enough, the visitor took her place unceremoniously, with a sweet smile and naive: “third cousin, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Shen Yuzhi unconsciously pushed back a step, looking at the beautiful and beautiful girl in front of her, her brain hurts for a while: “Roujia, why are you here?”
The girl curled her lips. She had a pair of almond eyes full of aura, and she looked very cute with every frown and smile: “Cousin, don’t you welcome me? I just came back to Beijing to see you!”
She looked behind him curiously: “The old lady said you took the third cousin back to the door? Where’s the cousin?”
While speaking, she inadvertently met a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes, and the girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened and full of surprise: “Wow, it’s so beautiful, third cousin, I didn’t expect sister-in-law to be more beautiful than sister Yinhua. Eh.”
As soon as she said this, Shen Yuzhi was embarrassed. After all, the relationship between him and Bai Yinhua was still chaotic, and there was a scene just now; however, Bai Chu suddenly became interested, and others could only hear the girl’s outspokenness. Something wrong is like a childish joke, lively and interesting.
Bai Chu heard something else from it.
This girl has a lot of hostility towards Bai Yinhua.
For Shen Yuzhi?
No, if it is, it should be yourself at this time.
how? What romantic debt did Bai Yinhua provoke elsewhere?
“Who is this young lady?” The smile on Bai Chu’s face slowly spread, “Do you know my eldest sister? I have a bad memory. Maybe the eldest sister told me about it but I forgot.” She Somewhat embarrassed.
Shen Yuzhi introduced her: “This is Aunt Changping’s daughter, Princess Roujia, just call her cousin just like me.”
Bai Chu Rourou’s eyes always fell on the face of the Princess Roujia, “You and the Princess Roujia have a fate that has been cultivated since childhood, how can I compare it when I come up? It’s better to call the Princess, and wait for the Princess to treat me in the future. It’s not too late to say the name, if you’re familiar with it.”
The princess of Roujia smiled brightly: “Sister-in-law Sanbiao, you are too outlandish.” But he didn’t say what to call him, “Cousin, come in quickly, Aunt Duanmin and the old lady have been waiting for a long time.”
Her voice was clear and cheerful, and almost as soon as she finished speaking, there was an echo: “Are Yuzhi and Chu Hua back? Come in, come in, don’t stand outside and blow the wind.”
Before they said anything, the Princess Roujia agreed quickly: “Hey! Come on!”
It can be seen that his temperament is indeed rare and lively.
After Shen Yuzhi and Bai Chu entered, the two elders, the old lady and the eldest princess, were still there. Seeing the two of them, they asked a few words about how they were in the Bai family. The whole house was amused.
The atmosphere is cheerful and happy, very comfortable.
After dinner, the Princess Roujia was picked up by the people from Princess Changping’s mansion, and then Shen Yuzhi and Bai Chu bid farewell to the old lady and the eldest princess and went back from Hexiang Courtyard.
On the way, Bai Chu asked curiously, “Do Princess Roujia and the eldest sister really know each other?”
Shen Yuzhi paused for a while, with a bit of embarrassment in her tone: “Mother does not have a daughter under her knees, so she is very fond of Rou Jia. I have to go together, with Yinhua… and Miss Bai have indeed met a few times.”
But the relationship is not very good, Shen Yuzhi remembered that Rou Jia and Bai Yinhua were together at the time, they were both famous and noble girls, and they didn’t know how to get them to fight in public.
Roujia is okay, the older brothers dote on her. When she was a child, she even dared to let her join her in martial arts training with her brother, but Yinhua is a real weak lady.
After that time, Shen Yuzhi didn’t dare to let the two meet again no matter what.
Facing Bai Chu’s blank eyes, he reluctantly said something vaguely: “You should have heard of it too.”
Bai Chu recalled hard, in the memory of the original owner, it seems that there was a time when Bai Yinhua was bullied by a girl from another family for some reason, with disheveled hair and a bruise on the corner of his lips, which was probably the most embarrassing time in his life.
The original owner was young at that time, and Mrs. Zhang took her anger on her, and the little girl was punished with trembling fear.
Bai Chu’s eyes turned and looked at him mockingly: “Everyone says that Lang rides a bamboo horse and goes around the bed to get green plums. The third young master Shen has a lot of green plums.” She shook her head strangely, “Putting on a woman is a red face. Misfortune, I don’t think you’re bad, you can actually let the two ladies put down their etiquette and fight for you?”
Shen Yuzhi waved his hands hurriedly: “Don’t say that, it’s not me that Rou Jia admires.”
“Who is that?”
Really wanting to answer, he hesitated again: “It’s not me anyway.”
Bai Chu snorted lightly, with a clever and cunning look in his bright eyes: “I can guess it even if you don’t say it.”
“The Princess of Roujia is very close to you, and as soon as I returned to Beijing, I couldn’t wait to visit the Shen residence first. If I don’t like you, it’s not too bad.”
“Speaking of which, is it the eldest brother or the second brother? Well, the eldest brother is away on business and is not in the house at the moment, so that’s the second brother?”
Shen Yuzhi’s eyes widened in astonishment, the elegant demeanor of the aristocratic family’s son was mostly stunned: “How did you guess?”
Bai Chu proudly raised her delicate little chin: “That’s natural, only women understand women’s minds best.”
“Besides, just looking at the warm and lively appearance of Princess Roujia towards you, it may be that you and the second brother are somewhat similar in appearance, so Aiwu Jiwu may put all his thoughts and affection for his sweetheart on you. .”
Hearing this, Shen Yuzhi shuddered, his facial features wrinkled into a ball, and there was still a little bit of frustration in the entanglement.
“What does this mean to me?”
